It is not concerned with conspiracy theories; instead it is about certain fundamental forces that shape the world in which we live. These forces, with their power to bring about transitions in emotion and preference within, and beyond, the elite community have potentially profound implications for all of us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough exclusive interviews with attendees of the most prestigious of all informal transnational networks - Bilderberg - this book provides a unique insight into the networking habits and motivations of the world's most powerful people. Moreover, it demonstrates that elite consensus is not simply a product of collective common sense among the elite group; rather, it is a consequence of subtle power relationships within the elite circle. These relationships, which are embedded in the very fabric of elite institutions and interactions, result in a particular brand of enlightened thinking within the elite community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exciting new volume sheds light for the first time on the critical question of who runs the world and why they run it the way they do. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIan Richardson\u003c\/strong\u003e is a researcher at Stockholm University Business School and a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University School of Management.
